Could a Palestinian ever play for an Israeli team?

[Icy Gull]

Given that sport is supposed to overcome politics. Maybe one already has, maybe Bubba knows if one has?

Well what does NSC think?

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

I believe they do...... or Jews play in an Arab team in the Israeli league..... isn't it the Haifa team?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Didnt a team that played Newcastle in last years Uefa cup have a mix of faiths?

 

[Buba]

Palestinians are citizens of the Palestine authority, not citizens of Israel therefore they don't play in Israel.

And yes, Arab citizens of Israel play in the Israeli league and also in the Israeli national teams.

2 Arab citizens of Israel also played in England:

Walid Badir in Wimbeldon 1999-2000
Najuan Grayev Aston Vila 1999-2000

2 Arab citizens of Israel scored goals againt Ireland and against France (I think) 2 years ago, they were Abas Suan who playes at Maccabi Haifa and Walid Badir who playes at Hapoel Tel Aviv.

There are also football teams of Arab viliges in Israel, one of the famous of them is Bnei Sachnin who won the Israeli cup in 2003 and played against Newcastle.

Here is a video of Yishaayahu (Shia) Feignboam who is the manager of Um Al Fachem.

That may just be baiting, but miles and miles over the mark IMO.
